I have seen people with the GV lip (which I have as well) but have not seen anyone with side skirts or rear lips to complete the package.
The supplier I have been dealing with emailed me before they even had these in stock to tell me about them and sent me the first shipment as soon as they arrived. I asked them about a rear lip or add-ons, but they are still not out there yet, but as soon as they come out I will get those too.

Here are the pics. I stuck them on with double sides tape and they hold on very well. It dropped the side about 1-1.5 inches on the side, they stick out a bit kind of like a front splitter, but I like them. Nothing crazy or Honda Civic-ish looking that gets too wild and goes half way up the door or 1/4 panel. Just a subtle extension. Let me know how you like or dislike them!

Honestly, they look a little awkward with the extreme angle between them and the car. They remind me of a sidestep you'd see on a pick up. Props for doing something different though.

You know it Phil, i asked the producer if they had any rear and they said nothing is out yet that they have, but will be the first to know. Once they have a rear available I'll get it to complete the package

yeah its too bad they dont make much for this car. When I had my 350Z you could find upwards of 25 different side skirt brands and styles, same with lips and rears. WHY OH WHY is the selection for the MS3 so fuckin limited?

Because no one like Mazda for the Aftermaket..Unless of course..you own an FD.

Plenty of Mazdas in the past had aero available. I say it's a testament to MS3's good looks that there is such limited aero selection. :)

Those look like Mazdaspeed replicas for the regular 3. They look nice IMO. There are plenty of selections for the 3 and MS3, you just have to spend the extra time searching.................Ill show you what I mean in 2 years...................

I like how they attract more attention to the skirts.... but I'm just not feelin em. We REALLY need a selection of front and rear lips, and side skirts. I'd def buy some skirts if they looked nice. I like the GVP lip but I don't wanna look like everyone else ;)

yeah ive found some other people with these. I can't believe mazdaspeed made these, seriously, we spend all this money on the "mazdaspeed 3" at least they could give us full lip kits all the way around. Didnt seem like they sold it with any lip options like they do for the jetta GLI and the GTI, for drying out loud even the fucking Honda Fit can be bought with painted full lip kit all the way around, and same for the Toyota Corolla and the Nissan Versa. Seems like we got jipped by Mazda for not giving us these options straight from the factory

I hate seeing Honda Fit's driving buy with full painted lips all the way around from the factory. Makes me mad that I have to spend the cash and time to buy and install everything when cars like that come with it stock. Mazda should have made it an option or stock on the MS3 since it costs so damn much. Hell Toyota Celicas had those "action package" mods and they allow you to customize those gay ass Scions straight from the factory and even tack the mods into the monthly payments! Aint thatta B!

yeah. in retrospect, i should have asked for much more for my vehicle when i bought it so that it was all worked out in the payments

I really think you need to lose the door moldings now...too much going on with them still on there. Other than that, I think they look great. Need to get drop and wheels now!! :)

now I need some handles on the sides for people to lean out and hang on to the handles when they are shooting up!

As soon as the company makes rears I'll get those and add them on there to complete everything. As far as rmeoving the sides, I'm still not sure. I need to put in my springs and wheels, black out the emblems and do batman symbols and paint the front grill area black and I should be set for a while. Unless I decide to make some sort of top duct on the hood to allow the tmic to function better

my vote goes, "kyle, take off your side moldings."

i've been trying to get him to do this for at least 2 months

why are you so hesitant about taking off the door moldings? For real?? Its so easy man. And it makes a world of a difference!

not that I'm hesitant, I just have seen it before and did not like the look of it. it makes the door look too plain without something there. BUT since i have these skirt extensions it does make a lot of things goign on in the area. SO I may take them off, just not sure if I want to.

I'm not sure on the brand, I bought them used off the forum here from Nutari, they were already painted silver when I got them. They are nice, just not as slim as the ones that Swampass has but I don't know what his brand is that he has either

Eh, they are ok.

I really want to get the rear diffuser kit for our car. Along w/ the wing extenstion i think it would look sick. but that's jjust me.

As for the side skirts for the side skirts.... remove them and shoot them into the air w/ left over fireworks.

yoooooooooooo, the rear diffuser that dg makes (or whatever they're called) is dope as shit, but requires cutting if i understand correctly.

come on....someone correct me.

the rera diffuser thing is pretty dope. If I was to get that i would probably have the bumper removes and the whole thing painted to get rid of all the cheap looking un-painted plastic pieces in the rear! BUT that diffuser form what i have seen doesnt lower the car its the same place that the one that is there and removes that one and goes in place just ina different shape. They need a huge rear piece that can be added and possible goes under the back and below the exhaust to give it the lower look.

Here is a view of the back of my 350z before I sold it, this was a lip that sticks on with double sides tape but I had it molded to the rear bumper. it went below the exhaust and looked pretty killer in person:

Wish they would make a rear lip/diffuser like that for the speed3

i really don't care about it looking lower. Diffusers buffer the airflow under the car. Hense why ferrari modified the rear diffuser vanes in the Sudderia to make airflow under the car more even for better handleing.

With that said, i do not think a diffuser would modify the way the car drives... it just looks sick and if i lowered the car, it would be perfect height.

only reason why i say to make it lower is so that ti matches. People dont like the combo I have of the front and sides because it looks lower and the back end is ass up in the air off the ground. So it needs something lower on the rear to make the whole thing match up. Thats why I want a rear diffuser that looks and is lower so that everything matches together well. I'm more for the looks of it, just so that it at least matches

i totally agree! never in my wildest dreams would I ever imagine myself buying straight side skirts! I like the more wild ones or the ones with a vent on them, but they dont make shit for this car, so it's all I could work with. I mentioend earlier how I wish they made more options for this car.

yeah mang, this is my first new car all my other cars I have ever bought were used and older so by the time i got them parts were easily accessible and cheap and knockoffs galore were available for purchase. I'm just too eager I guess (stash)
